Abstract

The diffraction properties of bleached reflection holograms, recorded by two plane waves in Agfa 8E56 photographic emulsion, are studied at different replay wavelengths. Measurements of the transmitted beam intensity against the replay angle of incidence are compared with a theoretical model to determine the wavelength dependence of the average refractive index, the average absorption, and the refractive-index modulation of the hologram.
